Still no fix for Halo: Reach online co-op on 4GB Xbox 360

1. Still no fix for Halo: Reach online co-op on 4GB Xbox 360
2. The solution

Much to the dismay of some Halo: Reach players, the 4GB Xbox 360 S is unable to handle the game's online co-op. While all else is fine and dandy, there's a consumer base that can't take full advantage of a game simply because of hardware inadequacy. Microsoft promised a solution for this problem, but it's been four months and still no update.

The problem arises when attempting to play co-op campaign online. While other Xbox 360 systems are perfectly capable of handling the game mode, the 4GB Xbox 360 is much too small to accommodate the data. As a result, games won't start if there's a 4GB user in the bunch.

 

So what now?

Well, why did they even buy the 4GB Xbox 360 S edition? 4GB is nothing!

250GB costs a bit more but it's totally worth it.

A similar question is why did Microsoft sell it?

microsoft won't fix this, not until reach turns a year old at least. that 'fix' would basically keep them from making money off the 250GB drives this way..

That's quite the conspiracy theory, but MS makes money off the hard drives either way.

The simple solution is to NOT buy the 4GB xbox. Every XBOX 360 "core" system sold without hard drive has been a ripoff since launch.

However, MS promised to fix this, and they need to get on that ASAP.

The Problem isn't that 4GB isn't enough to run the game(the online Co-op) its the fact that Reach doesn't recognize the 4GB as a harddrive and therefore can't use it. The reason for this is the fact that the 4GB isn't a Harddrive but is 4 GB of flash memory. Personally I think MS should be sued for false advertisement because on their website they clearly list the 4GB Xbox 360 S as having a 4GB Harddrive when it is actually 4 GB of flash memory.
well I just looked and apparently they changed it so that it no longer says its a Harddrive. but they still sold a ton of them back when it did say it was a 4GB harddrive and thats false advertisement.

Aye, likely they'll have a quote in fine print somewhere clarifying the 'marketing ploy'.

tbh im sure people would prefer 4gb flash than a 4gb hard drive anyways if anything they can be sued for selling incompatable software without warnings but thats about it

Why are they even selling this console? It's useless. Once someone takes it home and realizes that they can't buy very many games without a bigger har...

Ooooooohhhhhh... I see what M$ just did. Lol. You sneaky suckers, you.

After 3 rings of death, one malfunctioning console and now this inability to play Reach co-op, I am at a breaking point with the Xbox 360. I initially purchased the system after falling in love with original Xbox and Halo, but since the new system came out, there is always something more to purchase, or some other roadblock to just playing some vids. I can't believe I held out for as long as I have. Tomorrow I'm gonna sell this blasted money pit and wait for Skyrim on the PS3.
